Adam's Apples
"Adam's Apples" refers to the prominent lump that can be seen on the front of the neck, particularly in males. This structure is part of the thyroid cartilage, which protects the larynx and plays a role in voice production. The size of the Adam's apple can vary among individuals and is typically more noticeable in men due to hormonal changes during puberty.
The term "Adam's apple" is believed to originate from the biblical story of Adam and Eve, symbolizing the forbidden fruit. While it is more pronounced in males, females also have a thyroid cartilage, but it is usually less prominent.
